When periodontitis is often ineffective different methods of treatment used by dentists. At the same time, some physiotherapeutic methods have proved themselves very positively: methods of laser (magnetolaser) or information-wave action.
Laser (magnetolaser) action in periodontal disease is carried out with devices that generate radiation from the near infrared part of the optical spectrum (wavelength 0.8 - 0.9 μm) in the pulsed mode. Technique of exposure is contact, stable.
Fields of exposure by means of OR emitters with an area of influence with a contact technique of about 1 cm2: along the upper and lower jaws in the region of the projection of the affected areas of the gum and alveolar processes skin (up to 20 fields per procedure).
Influence fields with a matrix radiator: 3 - 4 fields along the mouth slit.
MRP OR 10 - 20 mW / cm 2. Induction of magnetic packing (with magnetolaser therapy) 20 - 40 mT. The frequency of pulsed radiation: in the presence of pain sensations 80 Hz to the disappearance of pain, all subsequent procedures 10 Hz; in the absence of pain - 10 Hz during the entire course of procedures.
Time of action on one field is 5 minutes. The course of treatment 10 procedures daily 1 time per day in the morning.
Information-wave action is carried out with the help of the Azor-IK apparatus. Technique of exposure is contact, stable. Influenced by three fields (right, left, middle) along the mouth slit. Pulse frequency: in the presence of pain sensations 80 Hz before the disappearance of pain, all subsequent procedures 10 Hz; In the absence of pain sensations 10 Hz during the entire course of procedures. The exposure time per field is 10 min. The course of treatment 10 - 15 procedures daily 1 time per day in the morning.
